Why we support the NID

The South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association has always supported a fair-minded and transparent community process.

In the 14 years of our existence, our organization has seen the great things that can be done by community-minded people pooling their collective resources to make our neighborhood a better place. The South Side is a better place for those efforts.

For that reason and many others, the SSSNA board of directors voted unanimously at our board of directors meeting on February 28 to endorse the plan created by the neighborhood improvement district steering committee and support the request that Pittsburgh City Council initiate action to create a neighborhood improvement district on the South Side.

In supporting this action, the SSSNA supports a process in which the residents of this community will ultimately decide whether they want to take control of the future of their neighborhood and make the South Side a better place to live, work, and play.
